What are Discovery Days Camps?

Brought to you by the Seattle Children’s Museum’s education staff, Discovery Day Camps are a designed to meet your varied needs, whether it’s half, full-day, a full week, or anything in between. Each of our camp days have a theme, with educational programming and activities to match! Thematically linked, but independent daily activities feature science, art and cultural programming for children ages 4 to 10. -You can mix and match your perfect camp schedule!

If weather allows, we will take advantage of our unique location and have lunch outside at the International Fountain, and challenge our climbing skills at the Artist at Play playground. Campers will also have time to explore portions of our 22,000 square feet of Museum exhibit space through guided play with our educators. Check out the Camp Calendar to find the day that best suits you and your kiddo! Please check out our Frequently Asked Questions about Camps for additional information.

Ages:

4 – 5 year olds (Space Classroom)

We recognize the value of community building and collaboration within our camp environment, as well as the importance of tailoring experiences to the appropriate developmental stages and individual interests of our campers. Typically, campers engage with their age group in two classrooms for most of the day, allowing our educators to cater the activities to needs and interests. However, the classrooms may be together throughout the day to share special cultural events and near peer collaborative learning experiences.
